You work for a nuclear research laboratory that is contemplating leasing a diagnostic scanner (leasing is a very common practice with expensive, high-tech equipment). The scanner costs $4.3 million, and it would be depreciated straight-line to zero over four years. Because of radiation contamination, it actually will be completely valueless in four years. You can lease it for $1.275 million per year for four years. Assume that the tax rate is 21 percent. You can borrow at 8 percent before taxes. What is the NAL of the lease from the lessor's viewpoint? ( A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.)

An asset costs $745,000 and will be depreciated in a straight-line manner over its threeyear life. It will have no salvage value. The lessor can borrow at 6 percent and the lessee can borrow at 9 percent. The corporate tax rate is 21 percent for both companies. a. What lease payment will make the lessee and the lessor equally well off? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Lease payment b. Assume that the lessee pays no taxes and the lessor is in the 21 percent tax bracket. For what range of lease payments does the lease have a positive NPV for both parties?

You can lease it for $1.275 million per year for four years. Assume that the tax rate is 21 percent. Suppose the entire $4.3 million purchase price of the scanner is borrowed. The rate on the loan is 8 percent, and the loan will be repaid in equal annual installments. Calculate the amount of annual loan repayment.
